Oh Boy! Or Girl! Or Both!

Yes, you heard that right folks. Or Both.

Our confirming appointment was this morning at 8am. We arrived at 750 and was finally taken back at 840! First a nurse, then a student, then finally Dr. Prouty!

As soon as he put the ultrasound probe in, I saw it. He said umm.. Did you see that? It was twins! Two! Double!

Shock. Utter shock. I knew it! I guessed twins!

Baby A (ahh! Crazy to say!): measures 1.25 cm long, heartbeat at 149. 7 weeks 4 days

Baby B (still crazy! ): measures 0.95 cm long, heartbeat of 146! 7 weeks 1 day

I go back in two weeks to check Baby B and make sure he/she is growing appropriately!

I'm technically due September 3rd, 2013 but will deliver probably early August or maybe late July! Eek! Craziness!

My First Pregnancy Puke

Well, I caved in and couldn't breathe myself out of it any longer!

I didn't eat dinner because I wasn't too hungry. I did have some chips and salsa which turned out to be a big No-No!

About 9pm-ish, I told Andrew I was ready for bed because I didn't feel too well.. No sooner did I bring the laundry baskets up, I ran to the bathroom, threw off my scarf onto the hallway floor and threw up my salsa... :/

While I'm upchucking, I look over to the hallway and see my annoying cat hewing on the ends of my scarf. Great. I yelled for Andrew and he picked it up.

After that, I felt fine. Maybe I need to make myself throw up more often? Instead of having constant nausea all day?

"Umm.. I'm Okay..."

That's my new favorite saying right now.

How are you feeling? -"umm.. I'm okay.."

I cannot complain, I asked for this specifically!

Here's my daily routine.

Get up. I'm hungry.
Eat. Feel extremely nauseated.
Nausea wears off only for hunger pains to strike.
Eat. Repeat cycle.

I have only choked back vomit a few times and I have been mainly able to breathe through it. I am lethargic to the point of exhaustion if I attempt to do anything.

I took down the Christmas tree a few days ago and it was awful! My body was worn out! So, if I'm at work I tend to sit as much as I can. If I'm at home, I lay down as much as I can. I don't nap that much but try to sleep at least 9-10 hours a night.. That's about what I'm averaging on a non work day.

I basically get relief while I'm eating and while I'm sleeping..

We went out to eat last night at the Texas Roadhouse! (Yum!) thank god they are quick! I said I have to continually keep eating. If my body thinks I'm done, I will be nauseous! & It worked!

I am very thankful for my husband. He hasn't complained that the laundry isn't done or the dishes aren't clean or the house is a mess! And also thankfully my brother in law is off on Saturdays for this month so I don't have to get up early to watch kayleigh at this crucial time in my pregnancy!

Everything does work out for a reason!

Less than 3 days Until my apt! Wahoo!

6 Weeks Today!!!

Made it to 6 weeks today!!!!! Starting to really feel the symptoms! Felt very very nauseous today, but no throwing up yet! Just breathing through it!

As of right now I am stuck waiting in a wreck, should be at work right about now!

I did get to see my countdown hit 0 seconds for my first dr appt!! Less than 8 days until we get to see and hopefully hear our little one!!

We both feel very blessed to have this baby! I'm just trying to soak it all in! Can't wait until we can make it official! Still haven't told Andrew's parents, but anxiously awaiting telling them! At this point, we could probably wait until after the ultrasound!

First Ever Survey!

So I am still fairly early! And people would probably say, you are going to jinx yourself. I know I am not. If this pregnancy fails, it's because it was already predetermined for me, not because I did some stupid survey or bought diapers. (Which I did yesterday-- off Walgreens! Case of 248 for $4.29!!)

How far along? 5 weeks 5 days

How big is baby? My Sweet Pea!

Total weight gain/loss: Not keeping track, can't bring myself to get on the scale!

Maternity clothes? Nope! Although I do have some and they are comfy!

Sleep: Can't get enough! I take naps almost daily, if I don't, I totally could!

Best moment this week: Telling my parents! Starting to think of names!

Boys: Rhett, Grant, Graham, Beckett, Beckham

Girls: Ella, Bria, Delani

Movement: Too early!

Food cravings: No really cravings, just hungry allll the time!

Food Aversions: none really

Gender: My first pregnancy, I swore it was a boy, now I don't know! Must be because its twins! :)

Pregnancy Symptoms: Sore boobs, exhaustion, constant hunger and the occasional 'I'm gonna hurl' moments!

Belly Button in or out? In

What I miss: Not much. Just Diet Coke

What I am looking forward to: Getting started on the nursery! We are going to paint/prime it soon! And our first dr appt!!! Jan 16!!

Upcoming appointments/events: Jan 16th

Weekly Wisdom: Be Grateful for allll the symptoms, good and bad!!
